cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A291856 a(0) = -1, a(1) = 1, a(n) = a(n-1) + (n-1)*a(n-2) for n > 1.

E.g.f.: exp(x*(2+x)/2) * (exp(1/2) * sqrt(2*Pi) * (erf((1+x)/sqrt(2)) - erf(1/sqrt(2))) - 1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 05 2017
a(n) ~ (sqrt(Pi) * exp(1/2) * (1 - erf(1/sqrt(2))) - sqrt(2)/2) * n^(n/2) * exp(sqrt(n) - n/2 - 1/4). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 05 2017
